Product details
Overview
The MAX1111CPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 8-bit, 4-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal track/hold, 2.048V reference, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 2.7V–5.5V supply, draws only 85µA at 50ksps, supports software-configurable unipolar/bipolar and single-ended/differential inputs, and targets portable data logging and hand-held measurement devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1111CPE+ datasheet, MAX1111CPE+ pinout, MAX1111CPE+ application, or MAX1111CPE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in solar-powered remote systems and medical instruments, and validated alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX1111CPE+ uses successive-approximation architecture with an integrated track/hold circuit and supports both internal (400kHz typical) and external clock modes (up to 2MHz). Its analog input multiplexer enables 4 single-ended or 2 differential channels, with configurable common-mode reference via COM pin.
Conversion control is managed through an 8-bit software-programmable control byte that sets channel selection, polarity, input mode, and power-down state. The device features a serial-strobe output (SSTRB) for interrupt-driven timing and automatic wake-up on serial interface access.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit, 4-channel, SPI interface; 2.7V–5.25V supply; no internal reference - requires external 2.5V ref | Lacks integrated reference and track/hold; higher system-level component count | Select when external reference already exists and board space permits discrete T/H |
| MCP3204-I/P | 12-bit resolution, 4-channel, SPI; 2.7V–5.5V; internal 4.096V reference; 1µA standby current | Higher resolution but slower max rate (100ksps vs 50ksps); larger 14-pin PDIP package | Choose for improved dynamic range where 12-bit precision outweighs power and size trade-offs |
Compared with ADS7822U and MCP3204-I/P, the MAX1111CPE+ uniquely combines integrated 2.048V reference, track/hold, and ultra-low 6µA shutdown current in a compact QSOP - optimizing for minimal BOM, battery runtime, and PCB area in portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the MAX1111CPE+?
The MAX1111CPE+ achieves up to 50ksps using its internal clock. In external clock mode, the sampling rate is determined by the SCLK frequency and control byte setup - with 10 clock cycles per conversion, a 5MHz SCLK yields 500ksps theoretical, but the device's analog bandwidth and acquisition time limit practical sustained rate to 50ksps for full accuracy. The MAX1111CPE+ datasheet specifies 50ksps as the maximum guaranteed rate with ≤±1 LSB total unadjusted error.
Does the MAX1111CPE+ require an external reference voltage?
No, the MAX1111CPE+ does not require an external reference voltage. It includes an internal 2.048V ±0.3% reference accessible at the REFOUT pin, which can be used directly by connecting REFIN to REFOUT. An external reference between 1V and VDD may be applied to REFIN if tighter tolerance or different voltage is needed - but the internal reference eliminates BOM cost and layout complexity in most portable applications using the MAX1111CPE+.
How many analog input channels does the MAX1111CPE+ support?
The MAX1111CPE+ supports four analog input channels (CH0–CH3). These can be configured in single-ended mode (four independent inputs referenced to COM) or pseudo-differential mode (two differential pairs: CH0/CH1 and CH2/CH3). Unlike the MAX1110, the MAX1111CPE+ does not support CH4–CH7 - its channel count and pinout are fixed to the 16-pin QSOP package, as confirmed in the functional diagram and pin description tables of the official MAX1111 datasheet.
What is the function of the SHDN pin on the MAX1111CPE+?
The SHDN pin on the MAX1111CPE+ is a three-level shutdown input. When left open (high-impedance), the MAX1111CPE+ operates normally. Pulling SHDN low reduces supply current to ≤10µA, placing the device in hardware shutdown. Pulling SHDN high disables the internal reference while keeping digital circuitry active - useful for systems using an external reference. This flexibility allows precise power-state control beyond software-only power-down, enhancing system-level energy management for the MAX1111CPE+.
Is the MAX1111CPE+ compatible with standard SPI interfaces?
Yes, the MAX1111CPE+ is fully compatible with standard SPI interfaces when configured with CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0. Its 4-wire serial interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT) matches SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols. The MAX1111CPE+ clocks data in on SCLK rising edge and out on falling edge, supports MSB-first transmission, and tri-states DOUT/SSTRB when CS is high - enabling plug-and-play integration with common microcontrollers without custom driver development for the MAX1111CPE+.
